Revenge of the Sith

I must say that I found Star Wars III quite boring. Just endless battles and duels punctuated with Lucas's trademark dialogue. Even the visuals become too little by trying to be too much.

But it would be a kick if we learned (a la Palpatine) that Bush actually is also Osama Bin Laden.
